DLP Projectors from Acer now in the Philippines

The need for a better, higher quality and more appealing digital display is needed in today's competitive environment. Projectors form a big part of the digital display need and it had evolved enormously throughout the years. Acer now brings to the Philippines its top of the line, quality Acer DLP projectors which includes ES-12 and the newest X117H.

What are DLP Projectors?

“DLP Projector Technology is different because of its Digital Micromirror Device Chip that projects a thousand mirrors to compose a high-definition image. Other technology makes use of LCD panels to produce a colored image,” Faith Kuo of Acer Philippines explains.

The two brands released by Acer in the Philippines use the DLP technology with high-performing and heavy-duty chips which are efficient and long lasting. Compared to other projector technologies, DLP produces better quality image and its technology uses a Digital Micromirror Device Chip (DMD).

DMD chips are sealed hence, dust won’t accumulate and color decay is preventable. Therefore, this type of projector requires less maintenance. “The DMD Chip is highly durable and long-lasting which contributes to the DLP Projector’s Total Cost of Ownership,” Kuo emphasized.

Acer White Party Launching

The DLP projectors were launched during an event at SM North EDSA Skydome. Dubbed as "Acer White Party" the event showcased the power of Acer's DLP projectors. There was a special 3D presentation which some of the media attendees were able to experience. The 3D experience was made possible using these new products.
